How to be a company in 2023

1. Make a controversial move to please your shareholders without caring about your loyal customers.
2. Don't use a proper PR team, just use the same apology template on Twitter that everyone is using.
3. People are angry... Could anyone seen that coming? 🙈
4. Undo some changes without addressing the root problem.
5. ????
6. Profit (if by profit, you mean loose every inch of respect people had about you)

Rinse & repeat, because we're all humans and we can't learn from our mistakes. Surely, this won't happen again... right?

Everyone should use uBlock + Facebook Container. It's still far from perfect, but every step counts.

You must switch back to English (US) after installation if you want access to Microsoft Store (and even if you don't, you probably should because most apps are now there).

I've seen a few tools to suppress most telemetry such as ChrisTitusTech's winutil or O&O ShutUp, maybe you could give that a try. Microsoft is really pushing hard Bing & Edge...

Also, as a Linux user, I must obliged to the rules and say there's alternatives out there if you want to try something new. :-) [email protected]

Switching between "Active" and "Top [1h/6h/12h]" at different times of the day has provided me with enough content & interactions to make Lemmy my new home. I always was a lurker on the old site, no comment nor post, not even an account. Now, I'm slowly trying to break from this habit. Being on Lemmy feels like I'm not shouting in the void; when a platform gets too big, you get lost in the crowd. It's always nice to see recurring usernames on different communities.

I'd say lack of marketing and higher price tags. Money / Performance ratio is also better with a decent Thinkpad.

Some of these options can't (or not without high markups) be bought and shipped to Canada.

Because it use common hardware and bought "en masse" by enterprises; they tend to be more supported with FOSS than other options.

I've been happy with my used T480 so far.

...and no one is surprised. [KilledByGoogle]

You could use LimeWire to get LimeWire Pro. Good times.

Saving this post for later! I got started yesterday with Miniflux and didn't know where to look for good RSS feeds. Can't have a better timing than this haha!

No registry edit necessary. Just use the email no[at]thankyou.com, write any password. Windows will throw an error, press continue and voilà, you can create your local account.

Rufus also has an option for local accounts and for removing TPM/SecureBoot requirements.

There's still a lot of empty space to be filled, you can join here canvas.toast.ooo :-)

Knowing you have N monitors, the perfect amount is N+1

Same story with Twitter users going to Meta's Threads instead of Mastodon. Most people don't see privacy online as an important matter because it's non-tangible for them. They go with the "safe/popular" option only for the story to repeat itself later...
